I would expect it to use PAM and NSS to get user and group information
(and for authentication, similar to the setup I found described at
<URL: http://agix.com.au/blog/?p=2994 >.  As our PAM and NSS setup is
configured to use LDAP and Kerberos, it should just work.

Perhaps start with a howto for those that want it?  And perhaps
include in it information on why laptops and tablets need RADIOS
authentication. :)
